OF SPEECH.
\
In our advertising we never “draw the long bow.”
“Word-painting” can’t make clothes any better. 'We
state the simple facts and state the facts simply. Telling
the truth and giving the values is the “fast express” to
public favor.
&r •; 1 4 f
For example, we specialize in “HIGH-ART’ Suits, be
cause we know they’re most for your money If they
weren’t, out they’d go and in would come better gar
ments.
You don’t know much about the structure of fabrics
and the tailoring of clothes You must buy on faith. Here
your faith will never be misplaced. .
* . r '\
Both as business men and as gentlemen we guarantee
every garment. If any one should ever “go back on
you/’ bring it right back.
. e -
First, know with whom you deal, and then deal with
whom you know. That’s the right rule in buying
clothes.

Friends, no word of mine has
erer been spoken or written in sup
port of the sale or consumption of
liquor. On the other hand I hare
done all I could against this form
of eril. as yon all know. No man c^a
erer stand before me and say “Ton
helped to lay a snare for my feet,
and you are responsible for my con
dition and for my fllling a drunkard**
grave.” With me it ia a moral que*-
| tion. I hare no right for the sake of
policy to compromise on this great
question. Right is right, and right
will win. What reason hare I, a
poor weak mortal, to stand In the
way of a great moral issue? Where
doe* my responsibility end? Should
It matter to me what the results are
ao long as I do right? “Prohibi
tion does prohibit”—what hare I to
do with that? I did my 'duty as I
saw it—the results of tbkt action
belong«to a higher Pow^r. I hare’ a
duty to speak out, and to stand on
the side of right. Wd policy must
not interfere.
The pulpit and the press are great
educators. They should stand to-

The Press and Standard for many
years has spoken out'on this ques

(Editor’s Note:—The latter part
of the above article appears to be
critical of the position now taken by
The Press and Standard on the dis
pensary aueatlon. In reply, we will
only say that, from a careful reading
of The Hustler of which paper Mr.
Smoak la Editor, we have not been
able to find where he has in Ken
tucky entered any fight on things
about which he knew nothing. It
does seem to us that Mr. Smoak
should accord us the same privilege
which he exercises for himself, vis.:
that of learning at first hand the con
ditions which exist here before at
tempting to influqpce or dictate to
the voters of the county. W’e believe
that where there is only one paper
In a county, that paper should be
non-partisan in things pertaining
to politics in any measure, and cer
tainly. with the residence of (he Edi
tor in this County for only four
months, he cannot aee how it would
be fair to himself or his readers to
take part in a flaht. the facts of which
are well known by years of experience
to the voters of Colleton.
I willingly admit that whiskey
is an evil and its^iale a curse. But.
as to whether conditions have im
proved in Colleton County under the
prohibition law, I am unable to state,
not having experienced the condi
tions during the dispensary reigjne,
and further. I am more puzzled in
determining such a question when
I hear that tigers exist throuxh-
jout the county and that much whis
key is shipped into the county t>j
freight in barrels labelled molasses,
cider, vinegar,, etc, Jt will be hard
for the voters themselves to make
''curate'statements about this, but
certainly they could make more ac
curate statements. having experienc
ed both conditions, than the present
Editor with his short residence. This
seems to me to be the taaue. whether
prohibition has reduced drinking. If
the voters think It has. then It must
follow that they should want prohi
bition. At least It is up to them, nqt
me.

V,
abolish all this work, waste and bother at one
stroke and save at least on'e-third on fuel bills.
Think of having every hairing day perfect for the ifst of your life—of elim
inating repair expense—of saving much of the time you now spend in the kitchen
—for a Favorite heats quickly; it is easily kept clean and bright; it requires little
care and attention; and it operates exactly like a new range day after day, after
years of use.
And a Favorite range will cost you much less per year than your present stove.
Wherpver Favorites are used (many homes here have them) household expenses drop.
Remember that Favorite Ranges cost no more than ordinary kinds. They
are built on the unit system with interchangeable bodies, ovens, closets, etc.
We can combine these units to give you a range that will exactly suit your
tastes—your needs—and your purse. ;
Face this cooking question today. Come to us, and we will place a Favorite
in your home that will banish all your coolring troubles forever.
